Both at Sorenson and UVU there are elevators and stairs, and they are very close in proximity to each other. Everyday I'm faced with a choice; elevator, or stairs. So many times I wanna take the elevator because I have such long days and I get exhausted running from one end of the campus and back at the end of each hour. Well I decided around the middle of the semester that I would play a game. It's called, "race the elevator!"
This only works when the elevator is just leaving the floor I am on. As soon as those doors close I book it up the flights of stairs to the 3rd floor and I see if I can beat the elevator. I do. Everytime. I skip steps though. When the elevator is on a different floor, I justify taking the stairs because 1, it's exercise 2, I don't want to wait for the elevator to come down and it's faster taking the stairs, even when I don't run up them. The stairs at sorenson are awesome. They are many, but perfectly spaced apart for my stride length. The elevator at Sorenson is much faster so I push myself harder. I still beat it. I must say, my legs are getting pretty toned! ;)

you are so cute!! i should take the stairs more, but i'm too lazy...my exercise is the gym lol...oh well. glad you take the stairs. i would love to see you race the elevator tho :)
LOL! I do the same thing, Kat! And I have to agree, part of my legs getting toned is from the stairs. Plus I think taking the stairs is more fun anyways, you avoid the awkward standing-in-the-elevator-silence :)
